Mission Viejo put up a good fight, but Orange Lutheran (21-10) became the second Trinity League team to celebrate a championship Saturday night at the Anaheim Convention Center, coming away with 64-58 victory in the Southern Section 1A final.

A healthy, feisty Gabe York torched the Diablos (27-4) for 28 points and was enjoying every minute of it, including a monster dunk. York made 10 of 19 shots. Jared Carver scored 11 points and Darien Williams 10 with 13 rebounds.

Evan Zeller gave Mission Viejo a 54-53 lead with 3:50 left after making a three-pointer, but the Lancers didn't flinch and took charge the rest of the way.
